Clojurians Log v2
gratitude
Working on a project we set up with https://github.com/lambdaisland/launchpad, and my oh my, this really is the icing on the interactive Clojure cake. Just added a missing path to my :dev classpath, and instantly carried on my work, no REPL restart required. Thanks for a fantastic piece of tooling @plexus and team š
after having spent about 4 minutes with Launchpad, I think Iām sold.
How bin/launchpad --emacs can cause my running Emacs instance to get connected to the launchpad REPL is black magic, a bit scary, but I think I like it. Just the live-reloading of dependencies makes it worth it for me.
Thank you so much both of you, this is the fuel that keeps me going š when we first announced Launchpad I had a hard time really explaining what its purpopse is. I'm happy people are starting to figure it out, it's been indespensible for me and the team.
I didn't it worked, what it did, and why you made it until quite recently: 1. I've had launchpad on my radar for a while since I really like Kaocha 2. I think you recorded a video quite recently where you showed the auto reloading of dependencies, that got me really excited 3. Also, @christian767 recommended launchpad seriously, so I decided to give it a shot. I guess it's sort of why clojure evangelism is hard - hard to explain why it's good, easier to show joy of use?
